A friend of mine who owns a race shop that does alot of Porsche work said when queried about reducing travel on the 914 brake system that the 23mm master cylinder from a 930 would far better reduce the travel over a 19mm master cylinder.
Has anyone done this mod and if so, what were the performance gains/differences? Thanks D |

It’s not a 930 MC is a 23 mm ATE MC for a Mercedes, the 930 23 mm MC is for power assisted brakes. I did the conversion on my early 930, replaced the aluminum s brakes and stock 19 mm MC for turbo brakes and the 23 mm MC. It’s stiff with the 930 brakes, I wouldn’t want it on anything less, as for travel, yes less travel, but more pressure to achieve the same results. I also had to fab a spacer as the rod actuator needs to be longer to work on the 23 mm MC.
I can heel toe on about anything, but I always found it easier when there’s a bit more travel on the brake... You can also adjust the pedal lower to reduce overall travel... (Edited again after MC size confirmation) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |
